So claims team captain Jalen Brunson, who is far from satisfied with the Knicks' current standing: at 32-16, New York is off to what's tied for its best 48-game start since 1996-97 and sits a game out of second place in the Eastern Conference.

With the win, the Knicks (32-16) have won five in a row and secured their second sweep of the Nuggets in the last three seasons. Though the Knicks did not reach their massive tally of 143 that appeared in their column in each of the last two games, the 408 points that have combined to earn are the most they've had in any trio in franchise history.
